Jim Deiters, head golf professional at Midland Country Club, told the Daily News that approximately 6,200 yards is the total length of the 18 holes that will be played at MCC in the inaugural Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational in July.

The Dow GLBI is a team event, the first official team event in the history of the LPGA, featuring 72 two-person teams.

"It's about 250 yards (short) of our full-length golf course," Deiters said. "That's probably further back than a majority of our members play."

The shortest hole is the par-3, 145-yard 18th hole.

The longest hole is the par-5, 559-yard 11th hole.

The tournament will feature two days of alternate-shot format and two days of better-ball format. That means that the tees will be moved accordingly each day.

"The tees will be tweaked each day," Deiters said. "On alternate shot they may shorten them up a bit, and then put them back for the better ball."

As a frame of reference, Deiters noted that the average LPGA pro drives the ball about 230 yards.

"Some drive it a lot longer, some shorter," he said. "You'll get Michelle Wie or Lexi Thompson that will hit it 275 to 280."
